Improvement upon three main
thoroughfares above the bluff, Molalla
avenue east of the new pavement. Fif
th street leading out to Mount Pleas
ant and Washington street, was pro
jected by the Live Wires of the local
commercial club at their meeting
Tuesday noon. A committee consist
ing of L. A. Henderson, L. A. Morris
and L. Adams was appointed to take
up the matter with the budget com
mittee of the council with the view to
securing appropriations out of the
road fund to carry the work as far
as possible.
The matter was broached by Percy
Caufield, who advanced the theory
that the talked of Washington street
improvement should give way to the
other two as more important arteries.
Henderson amended the motion to in
clude all three streets. Morris sug
gested that county cooperation be ask
ed upon those streets .where the
boundry line placed part of the street
outside the city limits making it in
effect a county road.
Absence of the expected speaker
gave time for varied discussion of
the various city problems, including
the city hall, and the projected clean
up of the water front. City Recorder
Kelly took a slam at both of the pro
posed sites, saying if no one would
throw monkey wrenches irrto the" mS11
chinery, the way was open for the
placing of the building on the south
half of the library park site. Talk of
placing another measure on the ballot
to make changes of various natures in
the plan, were dismissed after the
statement by City Attorney O. D. Eby
that the period for filing such meas
ures had past. Lou Adams branded
the time as inopportune for the con
struction of a city hall, and favored
the discontinuance of the plan. ,
A committee consisting of Ben Hard
ing. Arne Rae and L. A. Henderson
was appointed to assist the city in
securing the relics of the world war
whfeh afe"1eing given by the govern
ment to communities throughout the
country.
A resolution inviting the proposed
Oregon City Business Woman's Club
to affiliate with the live wires as an
auxilliary, was passed. A resolution
was also adopted asking the council
to put electric lights in the traffic
signals at Tenth and Fourteenth on
Main streets.
The third largest amount paid by
the state to ex-soldiers under the so
called bonus act was- received by vet
erans who enlisted from Clackamas
county, according to Phil Hammono
local bonus attorney. The report of
the bonus commission up to Septem
ber 30 shows that $8,042,352.40 has
been paid in loans and cash bonuses
I of which $338,075.34 was paid to Clack
amas county veterans. Multnoman
and Lane county exceeded Clackamas.
Cash bonus paid by the commis
sion during the period totaled $4,193,-
098.61, while the loans aggregated $3,
849, 253.79. The applications for cash
bonus numbered 18,926, while the ap
plications' for loans aggregated 1545.

Of 62 1-2 acres in the county ex
amined for grain certification by ex
perts of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, n0 rejections were made this
year according to the preliminary re
ports twenty eight acres of wheat
were passed, three acres of oats and
31 1-2 acres of Barley. No record is
listed of the individual ranches upon
which the certification was made.
The preliminary report, however,
.does not show so good a record in the
county for certification of potatoes.
Forty growers applied for vertifica"
tion upon 253.5 acres of potatoes and
only 73.5 were passed. . The fact that
potato certification work is new in
the county and is being undertaken
on a large scale is responsible for the
correspondingly poor percentage, it is
pointed out.
Jury Disagrees
In August Olson
Moonshine Case
-Disagreeing after nearly four hours
deliberation, the jury in the circuit
. court trying the case of August Olson,
charged with possession of liquor, dis
agreed at 5 o'clock yesterday and was
discharged by Judge J. U. Campbell.
Olson was arrested at Damascus on
July 5, 1921 by deputies Hughes and
Long of the sheriff's office, ana after
a trial in the justice court was con
victed of illegal pc3sessjn of liquor.
He appealed the case to the circuit
court.
The jury which, heard the arguments
was composed of Edgar C. Brown,
Sam J. Jones, Mary Norris, Adam Beil,
..Nellie C. Alldredge, Fred Lias, Mag
gie Johnson, Robert Y. Appleby, Char- j
lea L. Horstman, Louise Kamrath, Au
rie Draper and Mary R. Caufield.
. Oregon and Washington have just
received $179,418.85 from the federal
government for roads and schools.
Oregon, second on the list draws $110,
015.21 while Washington receives $69,
303.64. The above amount goes to the
counties of the two states in which
there are National Forest areas.
The governors of 28 states have just
been notified that 25 per cent of the
$3,421,531 received from timber sales,
grazing permits and other sources of
national forest revenue for the past
fiscal year will be distributed by the
Forest Service, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. These moneys are re
turned to states in which national for
ests are located for expenditure upon
schools and roads.
An additional 10 per cent of the
total receipts is" transferred to the
Forest Service for the construction of
roads and trails within the forests,
and this sum for the present year
amounts to $338,576.
The total, which aggregates over
one million dollars, will be prorated
among the 28 states in proportion to
the receipts from the national forests
within their borders. Since the es
tablishing of the national forests the
sums returned to these states have
steadily increased, and today amount
to almost 14 million dollars, which
has been directly contributed to the
development of the states by the na
tional forests within their borders.
California, where federal timber
lands returned to the government
$628,765 during the past year, leads
the list and will receive $157,191 for
the school and road fund and $62,876
for national forest roads and trails.
Oregon is second, while Idaho. Ari
zona and Colorado follow in the order
named.
year was lo,747.
- Many Figures Listed.
The registration, Miller explains, is
always heaviest at the time of a presi
dential election, Dut the total this
year, notwithstanding that it is an in
between time, will run to a new re
cord, he says.
The poignant issues raised in the
i campaign is given as the reason for
the increase, and Miller states that
a vote of 50 per cent of the registra
tion, a mark seldom attained even in
presidential contests, is practically as
sured. Miller expects that the total this
year will be between 17,000 and 18,000,
probably approaching more nearly the
latter figure.
247 Register Saturday.
The clerk's office remained open
until eight o'clock last evening. ' A to
tal of 247 were registered during the
one day.- The fact that this year
there are a large number of deputy
registrars over the county makes it
impossible to accurately estimate the
total number who have registered, thoj
Miller is certain it will surpass any
figure since the statewide-re-registration
in 1916 made necessary by the
change in the laws enacted by the
1915 legislature. -
An interesting figure which the fin
al totals is expected: to reveal, is
whether or not the increased registra
tion will change the percentage of
men and women. In 1920 there were
three women to every five njen. In
may of this year, the proportion
changed to nine men to every five
women. Whether the greater number
of registered .yoters will alter this
ratio to any degree cannot be ascer
tained until the tabulation is complete.
The report of County Treasurer W.
W. Everhart to the county court shows
a warrant indebtedness outstanding
as of October 1 of $457,126.99.
The treasurer has on hand $35,
231.17 to redeem warrants outstanding
for which a call' will be issued. The
total balance on hand in. the various
funds totals $307,255.62.
The funds of the county are deposit
ed in the various banks of the county
as follows: Canby State bank, $15,-
$15,500; Bank of Oregon city, $70,- Ninety fer Cent of Members

Chicago and Phoenix, Ariz., was ex
pected to be resumed in the Arizona
capital today with the return there
of Deputy Sheriff F. W. Bell, who
has been gathering evidence in the
case here for several days.

"worth, his while" to destroy certain
data it contained, the Arizona officer.
when he started homeward yesterday,
aeciarea he still had safely in nis
possession a diary the dead clubman
was said to have kept.
This book, or series of books for
tne diary was said to have filled
three . small volumes contained the
names of a number of women in
Phoenix, Tucson, Douglas and Flor
ence, Ariz., and Los Angeles. San
Diego, Santa Barbara and Santa Mon

It was to interview a number of
the Arizona women who had come to
Los Angeles for the summer that Dep
uty Sheriff Bell came to this city and
obtained the assistance of J. B. Fox,
Los Angeles county deputy sheriff.
Bell said he believed it was "a jealous
husband'' who strangled the clubman
to death September 13, and then threw
his body into an irrigation canal on the
outskirts of Phoenix, to give the slay- j
ing the appearance of accidental
drowning.
When Bell started home he said
suspicions had narrowed to "two
prominent business men" of Phoenix,
both of whom.were still in that city.

last night. The Angora government
was given until 5 p. m. today to accept
or reject it.
"We have gone to the extremity bf
concessions," declared Lieutenant
General Harington. "The revised
armistice convention is a gratifying
manifestation of allied solidarity In
war or peace. It is earnest hope that
the Turks will appreciate the liberal
ity of our terms. If they reject them
we are prepared for all eventualities.
"The convention we submitted is
Great Britain's last word. - It now
rests with Angora whether the world
shall have peace or war."
The allied terms include withdraw

Turkish gendarmes to be allowed in
Eastern Thrace, and non-occupation
of that province by the Turkish army
